Can' t catch a break this year shot a big buck saturday afternoon hit him a little back he jumped the string a little about 27 yds looked for him for while sat night it rained all day sun day still looked no luck without a blood trail went back today and walked up on him the cyotes had got.to him pretty bad I cut his head off and brought it out 18 " inside spread 8 pt

Ab out 200 yds we would have found him sunday had it not rained my luck needs to change I made less than perfect shot a doe busted me and blew he was alerted and jumped when i pulled the trigger also he was a little farther than I like to shoot

Persiverence you cant kill one if you are not in the stand. belive in the way you hunt . Learn from your mistakes . Study the animal you are hunting their habits.and Habitat and aproach each hunt as if you were the animal being hunted we hunt public land you have to find things over looked by other hunters there is about 10000 acres in the block we hunt on the north unit of white river refruge I know where there is about 30 white oak trees in the whole block right now if they have acorns it isnt rocket science wait on the right wind and climb a tree the does will come and the bucks will follow when we arent in the stand my brother and I scout every day for 3 to 4 hours and we hunt a lot my brother uses trail cams I do not and the secret on big bucks is wait there was 4 does and 3 bucks a small 6 a bigger 8 and the wide 8 could have shot any of the 3 had many eyes around just waited on the big one
